What is a good industry to get involved in that makes a decent salary? I'm a strong, white, healthy, mid twenties young man with a high school diploma and a bit of college, a strong work ethic, I don't call in sick unless I can't get out of bed, and no felonies or anything like that on my record. Wtf can I do to make some money? Construction? Farming? ANYTHING! I'm so sick of making PEANUTS! I have a friend who just got into a car accident and she is making more than I am on disability. I feel like a slave, I feel like 90% of me isn't being utilized.

I recommend a trade. Plumbing, electrical, and hvac are always in demand. they make good wages even in antiworker states and those skills can help with your grow. its a win win.

I did construction this summer. I was building damns for the government. Sounds shitty but I was running a nice big scrapper with air conditioning. I would just drive to the dirt pile, pick up dirt and then drive on top of the damn and dump it all off. I even listened to my ipod while I worked. I made 12.50 an hour so I can't complain. Woke up at 6 and got in my vehicle at 7am and worked till 7pm or later. Decent money.

Any trade could potentially pay well. Some pay better than others of coarse, and some require more schooling than others. I'm a welder by trade and it doesn't require much schooling, just experience. I make 17 an hour now. UNion workers always make more money, any job you get with prevailing wages will make you bank. I'm sure a well experienced union welder making prevailing wages would be upards around 80 bucks an hour. Kinda bullshit since prevailing wage is only on government jobs, I think, which meens it's tax dollars paying it.

if you are clean you could work in the oil fields. 21.50$ an hour starting.

How would I go about doing that? I'd gladly get clean to start making some real money, I don't care about the hours. The only thing I care about is earning what I feel like I deserve, nothing more, nothing less.

Working outside in the heat sounds perfect for me!

You mentioned farming as an option- what about being a stable groom? It's hard (I did 5am to 5 pm) but you'd be amazed at how much they paid the older guys. (Yes, I got treated different for being a girl and temp.) but racing stables especially, take a quick stable management course and get yourself in there. They always need an extra hand.
